The Credit Card Project

To collect as many solicitation "credit cards" as possible.

The predatory nature of credit card lending is evident only to those of us who it has burned before. Furthermore, a measure of “too much” credit has been extended to consumers, leaving our economy in the mess where it now exists. Credit cards are dually both a symbol of wealth and a symbol of need, both a symbol of stature and a symbol of weakness. I am motivated to create sculptural objects out of credit cards that present both the positive and negative sides of credit and the credit system for mutual observation. I have already collected hundreds of “credit cards” from solicitation letters and I need your help to collect thousands more.

Save your card solicitation credit cards! Put them in a pile, and send them to me at Chroma Studios. I am especially interested in the American Express Clear/Blue “Your Name Here” cards, which you’ll recognize if you get them.
